On Tuesday, 17 February 2026, the Nigerian House of Representatives scheduled a major legislative move to scrap and replace the Electoral Act of 2022 with an entirely new Electoral Bill. The sitting also included a motion to reverse a December 2025 vote on an earlier Electoral Act amendment after technical experts flagged errors and inconsistencies in the bill.
